hugetlb: add MAP_HUGETLB for mmaping pseudo-anonymous huge page regions



Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
will look like anonymous memory to userspace.  This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount.  MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it.  The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.
